Get an inside look at how VLI Brazil, a comprehensive end-to-end logistics provider, is making strides toward more sustainable operations with Klüber Lubrication.
With a diverse array of heavy-duty equipment in its internal port logistics network, VLI has set ambitious environmental targets, including a significant reduction in its carbon footprint by 2030. In response, the company partnered with Klüber Lubrication to explore how smarter lubrication strategies could improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
As part of the Klüber Energy Efficiency project, the team conducted a detailed analysis of VLI’s systems, focusing particularly on the gearboxes powering critical conveyor equipment. The result was a tailored recommendation: a switch to a high-performance synthetic lubricant engineered for better friction control, longer service life, and enhanced protection.
The outcome? A more efficient system requiring less maintenance, fewer lubricant changes, and offering improved safety for maintenance personnel. The shift also supports VLI’s long-term sustainability goals by reducing waste and improving overall equipment performance.
This case study illustrates how targeted technical interventions—in this case, something as specific as lubricant selection—can play a key role in achieving broader sustainability and operational goals.
For more detail on how the Klüber Energy Efficiency Project is helping to increase efficiency at port conveyor systems, join them at GreenPort Congress, Valletta.
Taking place 15-17th October and co-located with the DTF: Decarbonising the Future (Shore to Ship) conference, GreenPort Congress helps the entire port ecosystem balance environmental challenges with economic demands.
